Fraternity hosts successful food drive

PIKEVILLE – The Delta Alpha Lambda fraternity at the University of Pikeville recently hosted a food drive to benefit the WestCare homeless shelter in Pikeville.

With the generosity of the Pikeville community, students collected nine shopping carts of items including food, paper products, diapers, cleaning supplies and blankets. The donations totaled more than $2,000 in value and filled a truck.

“Our goal as a fraternity is to get involved with the community by engaging in volunteer service,” said Gabriel Carrillo, Delta Alpha Lambda president. “Everyone in our fraternity supported the idea of a food drive and was extremely excited about doing something outside the walls of the university.”
